BELLOWS FALLS SHAKEN.
ROWAN COUNTY AT PEACE.
The Rumor That the Tollivers are Ris
ing Probably False.

The Rumor That the Tollivers are Ris-
ing Probably False.
LOUISVILLE, June 30.-A special from
Morehead, KY, states that there appears to
be no foundation whatever for the rumor
that the Tolivers are organizing, and that
the people of Rowan county feel confident
that their long war is over and that an era
of peace and happiness has at last dawned
upon the unfortunate section. This belief
is founded upon the outpouring of citizens
at meeting yesterday, called to organize a
protective association for the upholding of
the law. An article was then drawn up by
which every signer pledged himself with
his life to protect the life and property of
the citizens of Morehead and of Rowan
county. This was signed by all of the 500
men present.
Among the formal resolutions adopted
were the following:
We hereby pledge to ourselves and to the
people of Kentucky that we will obey the law
and we are determined to require observance of
it in others. We are tired OF blOodShed, and we
are determined to have the dominion of the law
agree to act as posse cOnIitgt1GS whenever sum-
moned by the Sheriff to execute the
process of any court, and when. war
rants of arrest are placed in
to the bar of the courts, alive if possible, dead
if necessary. We deplore violence in all its
forms, but we are determined that lawless men
shall not longer terrorize Rowan county, but
that will in strict Interpretation of the law
make terror to wrong doers from whatever
source they may come. We will guarantee to
every person accused of crime and brought to
Rowan county to be tried fair trial and pro-
lection from violence. We respectfully ask all
the good citizens of Rowan county of all shades
of opinion to sign these resolutions.

PROMOTION EXAMINATIONS.
Only Eight Persons Out of Fifty-Sever
Fail to Pass the Ordeal.


WASHINGTON, June 30-Of the fifty
seven clerks in the Office of the QUartermas-
ter General who, up to date, have been ex
amined for promotion under the new civil
service rules, thirty were men and twenty
seven women. An examination of the
papers shows that six men and two women
failed to attain the minimum Of Is out of a
possible 100. Commissioner Oberly to-day
said that the women, as rule, passed 2
more satisfactory examination than the men
and reached higher averages. A fact
that is regarded by the committee
as very significant is that the marking on
efficiency by the Quarternaster General
made prior to the examination, and kept
secret until after the result Of the eXamina-
tion had been determined, agreed almost
exactly with the markings Of the examin-
ers. There was only one exception. This
result is highly satisfactory to the commit
tee, who regard it as a refutation of the
charge that in these examinations favorit-
ism would control the rating for efficiency.
